Thank you to Mark and Maureen Davitt for an inspirational $10M commitment to support our new pediatric emergency department and Integrated Care Center. Their generosity will support the resources needed to deliver exceptional care to kids in our community.

A modern emergency department lobby with the sign "David Family Pollard Emergency Department" on the wall. The room features a circular seating area with people, a reception desk, and several staff members in scrubs. The area is bright with large windows showing trees and a building outside.
